The Lost Crown

The Lost Crown: A Ghost-Hunting Adventure is a British graphic adventure game released in 2008. The Lost Crown is the third full title to be written and developed by Jonathan Boakes, author of Dark Fall: The Journal and Dark Fall 2: Lights Out. The screenplay follows the adventure of Nigel Danvers, as he experiences the paranormal in his quest to find the fabled Lost Crown of Anglia.

Vividly set in the fictional harbour town of Saxton in The Fens of eastern England, The Lost Crown follows the adventures of two young ghost-hunters, Nigel Danvers and Lucy Reubans. Nigel has fled London, following the theft of several documents from his employer, The Hadden Corporation. The documents contain proof of Hadden’s involvement in experiments with paranormal forces, and the existence of ‘chasm ghosts’. Two Hadden agents, Mr.Hare and Mr.Crow are dispatched to capture Danvers and return the stolen documents. Nigel takes refuge in Saxton, where he meets local psychology student, Lucy Reubans. Together they set out to solve local mysteries, study paranormal activity and discover the whereabouts of a legendary Anglo-Saxon crown, thought to be buried somewhere in the vicinity around town. Nigel’s presence in the town does not go unnoticed. There are those, alive and dead, that do not wish the crown to be disturbed.

Actually, I just played this game last night and i find this game quite interesting. I like the British accents of the characters, but one thing that's a bit irritating is that the protagonist, Nigel Danvers moves very slowly. You cannot even change the speed of the game. I haven't delved deeper into the game yet but i had the feeling that it's going to be quite spooky.

I wish to finish this game now, but i can't. I'll be having exam for the next 3 weeks and i can't wait to go back to my hometown on 11th November. I'll play many games during the semester break.
